Become A Trauma Informed Coach
Are you a coach who's afraid to use the "T" word (Trauma) on your calls? Or you that trauma is a thing, that it happens, but not much more (because you’re not sure if you want to know more)? If any of this resonates (or you just want to know more about how, as coaches, we can support clients carrying trauma), this podcast is for you. Bringing our lack of understanding into the light is necessary to support ourselves—and clients—during calls. Now coach, I am NOT HERE to induce fear or paralysis in your coaching—bleh. I am here to help you 1) see what you’re potentially not seeing, 2) reaffirm 10000% that you absolutely can do something about it, and 3) reinforce the notion that we all start somewhere (it’s ok to be where you’re at right now)! There is SO MUCH you can do to support clients carrying trauma—as well as understanding the limitations we have as coaches—so that they can receive the care they are in search of. I believe that being Trauma-Informed is an Essential Standard of Care for every coach in the coaching industry. I have a vision of every coach being Trauma-Informed.

Conditioned Religious Misconceptions that Do Damage
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Tune into this week’s podcast where common religious misconceptions are made about people when they begin to differentiate from their church.
Most of the time, the assumptions we make are more of a clear hit into our own conditioning—rather than what the person you’re observing is experiencing.
And in Lindsay’s words: “I share all of this with the most love in my heart because I care about you and I believe in you as a coach. If you’re reading this, it’s very likely that you have your clients’ best interest at heart.”
The tools Lindsay teaches in her advanced certification for coaches can facilitate your coaching in this arena as well. It will minimize harm that can and does happen in the coaching industry.
And most importantly, these tools will facilitate your relationship with yourself.
In this episode Lindsay discusses:
- How you can be an advocate for marginalized groups in religion
- Why that doesn't exclude you from also practicing said religion
- The different misconceptions related to religious trauma
- How we can be conditioned in religious institutions
- How to recognize these conditioning roles

Your host, certified life coach Lindsay Poelman started her journey of intentional healing started when she learned that her husband had been lying to her about pornography use for a greater part of their marriage. After processing and accepting her circumstance more fully, she found coaching—which propelled her into a forward focused state of empowerment.
Over the last four years of deep dive/fundamental coaching for women in betrayal (around porn use, spouses coming out around gender identity and sexuality, childhood neglect and abuse, substance abuse, infidelity, emotional abuse, domestic violence, institutional trauma, and more.), she has observed that if you’re working with humans, you can’t handpick clients who don’t carry trauma.
This is why I have developed a Trauma-Informed approach to mindset work and relationships that take into account the nuance of being a human. She believes that being trauma informed is an essential standard of care for coaches. She created this podcast to support life coaches who recognize that there is so much more than mindset work when it comes to supporting their clients responsibly.
